with Duluth.
Gore and Arson nearly had battle in
Chicago day or two ago about the prob

and Arson offered to bet 500 to $50 that
Chicago would beat out any named club.
The Charleston club will have two uni

OF white flannel, trimmed with blue,
which the club will wear at home, and the
old uniforms OF gray and maroon, which
will be worn while playing on circuit.
The men so far signed for n ash vile and
their positions are as follows: Bradley,
Maui and Hayes, pitchers; Jack Hayes,
Mannion and Nicholas, cato hers; Firle,
first base; Motfat, second base; Burks,
short stop; Hogan, right field: Diestel,

The nine-club problem, which has long

been settled by the admission of Indian

the retirement of the st. Louis Maroons,
the latter club having accepted the offer
of Indianapolis to pay them $4,000 for
their franchise and players. The league
delegates then turned their attention to
the Kansas City team and offered the
delegates who represented the Cowboys
$4,000 for all their players. The Cowboys
said they desired to retain some OF their
players so as they could enter the Western
League. The league then made Sc cond
otter of $1,000 for McQuery, Bassett,
Whitney, Myers and Donnelly, and an
additional $500 if Radford Is included,
making total of $4,000 for six of their
players.

THE ORPHANS HOME
Work Begun on the New Building

Work Begun on the New Building
Mt Jefferson and Liberty Streets.
The contractors have begun work ON
the new building for the Episcopal
Orphans Home at Liberty and Jefferson
streets and will push it to completion as
RAPIDLY as possible. The orphans are
now domicied at Isle of Hope, where
they will remain until the new home is
completed, which will be about Oct. l if
nothing unforeseen occurs. This insTitu-
ton is doing a great deal of good III a
quiet way, and is well worthy the generous
support OF the charitable of all religious
creeds. Although it Is under the control
OF the Protestant Episcopal Church OF
Chatham county it makes no discTimina-
tlon on account OF different religious
training. If the applicants are worthy
and need the care OF kind friends they
are taken and provided for until old
enough to earn their own living.
The old building, formerly occupied as
an orphanage, was found to be entirely
unsuited TO the needs of the institution,
but the new building, now IN course of
erection, will be commodiOus and COM
Portable, with capacity for fifty children,
which is double the size of the old home,
and will greatly increase the usefulness
of the society. The charity Is g noble
one, and is very far-reaching in the good
il accOmplishes. Without such "Homes"
in large cities there would be a vast
amount of suffering among the poor chill
dren, who are lett without friends and
often without relatives, with no means OF
living, or are too young to care for them
selves.
The board OF managers has undertaken
to make provision for much larger num-
Der of children and to increase its useful
ness, and they hope that all who take an
interest in such good works will gener-
ously aid them in accomplishing so
worthy purpose. The Building Com
mittee, consisting of Capt. j. r. ID. TAFT.
nall, Messrs. j. II. Clarke, j. ID. Weed, E.
+. Neulville and l.. NJ. w arted, assisted
and directed by Mr.. j. j . hewitt, archi-
tect, are pushing The work with energy
and hope soon to be able to show the
friends of the institution building that
will inspire them with feelings both of
pride and pleasure.

The Ingenuity of Women.
From the Chicago Tribune.


There is a Bible in Lucas county, o.,
which was preserved by being baked in
a loaf of bread. 1t now belongs to a MIR.
Schebolt, who is native of Bohemia,
Austria. This baked Bible was formerly
the property of his grandmother, who was
ataithful Protestant Christian. During
one of the seasons when the Roman CaUho-
lies were prosecuting the Protestants in
that country a law was passed that every
Bible in the hands of the people should be
given up to the priests that 1t might be
burnt. Then those who loved their Bibles
had to cOntrive different plans in order to
try and save the precious book. When
the priests came round to search the house
1t happened to be bakIng-day. Mrs. Sche-
bolt, the grandmother of the present owner
of this Bible, had large family. She had
just prepared great batch of dough
when she heard that the priests were
coming. She took her precious Bible,
wrapped il carefully up and put it in the
centre of a huge mass of dough which was
to fill her largest bread tin and slowed it
away in the oven and baked it. The
priests came and searched the house care
fully through, but they did not find the
Bible. When the search was over and
the danger passed the Bible was taken
out of the loaf and found uninjure6.

in the habit OF taking the mail for resi-
dents oflslo OF Hope out TO the depot where
they would leave II in charge of Il clerk
who put 1t in pouch and turned IL over
to the conductor ON the outside
line, who carried 1t 10 Isle of Hope.
On the Gay in question the Isle OF hope
mail was leit at the depot as usual,
though there appears to have been no
clerk there at the time. Before he re-
turned some one went in and took the
package Of of his desk. On w ednesday
some fragments OF letters were found IN
the depot water closet. A search was
made, and seven letters were found.
